It's Quiet Thread 15 - Txiki Blinders

The players look motivated now. Unless we suffer another injury disaster from our CB's like 2019 season then I still see us as favourites for the title and co-favourites for the CL. This striker fiasco will only motivate the squad to remind the league why we've won this 3 times the last 4 years. The Rags and Cristina also needs a reality check. I think they're getting a little giddy now that they're starting to forget the last 8 seasons they've finished behind us.

Nah, BTOOTFW.

Piss would boil

We will move for a striker in January. My guess is either back in for Kane or we will start to explore Haaland.

January is the time to explore Haaland, think by April May, he and everyone will know where he’s going.

I caught something on Talkshite just after getting back to the car after the game. Adrian Durham saying the last time Ronaldo played in the Premier League, our chairman was Thaksin Shinawatra and the season after we lost 8-1 to Middlesbrough.
The Premier League is a very different one he left behind. We have set new standards and an unfortunate consequence is dragging a few along with us. I don’t buy 36 year old Ronaldo tearing up this league. Even the teams you consider cannon fodder can get results. Look at WBA last season.

He will score some goals. He will sit out a lot of games

Doubt he'll add much to their team that Greenwood, Cavani, Rashford, Martial couldn't already do

But however you look at it they have been taken for a ride to end up making a 36 year old the best paid player in the history of the PL. They were spooked into the desperate move by misguided sentiment, a burning desire to placate their ludicrous fanbase... but most of all absolute terror that he was about to join us

The. Ingest impact of our transfer strategy over the last 5-7 years has been to muller the rags wage structure, and yet again we have done it.

I’m not a conspiracy theorist usually but there is a pattern here now lol

He doesn’t need to tear up the league to be a success at United.

If he can help them turn the draws they had last season against the lesser sides into wins, then it will be money well spent.

Does Jack Grealish add anything to our side that De Bruyne, Foden, Bernardo and Gundogan don’t already do?

I agree with many of the reasons you’ve suggested to why they’ve signed him but that doesn’t make him a bad signing.

I’d argue that signing a player who is better than what you currently have, prevents him from going to your rivals and has a sentimental value that the fans will love is almost the perfect signing.

After watching Grealish in the 3 games, yes I think he does add something. He's more direct, aggressive and strong than the players you name. He drags defenders away leaving space for others to exploit

I hear what you're saying about Ronaldo, but you can't get away from the fact they've made a 36 year old the best paid player EVER in the PL. It's desperation and I'm pretty sure the numbers are the reason we backed off when we were offered him

Utd love breaking records a £20 million loan fee for Falco, and their part in Pogba`s agent receiving £40 million in agents fees.
